Chapter 174: The Art of War, White Horse Temple

As soon as Fu Yi's words were finished, there was a commotion among the ministers, did you take the wrong medicine in Honglu Temple today? With so many things, I don't usually have to stand up once a month.

Li Shimin's brows furrowed even more, but he still patiently spit out a quasi-word.

"Although the monks of the White Horse Temple are called monks, they are arrogant and lascivious, and they are not compassionate people. Chang'an Hou consulted with the ministers, and finally believed that the monks of the White Horse Temple should be ordered to return to the secular within three days, and the pastoral property of the White Horse Temple should be recovered from the state. ”

"The matter...... I do not interfere, and I do not need to report everything. Li Shimin pondered for a moment and said immediately. Many ministers' faces became ugly, and they were also devout Buddha worshippers, and they worshiped Buddha at the White Horse Temple on weekdays. There are also some people who put their money in the White Horse Temple for usury, and now they want to take back everything in the White Horse Temple to the state, so how can they get back the money they put in the White Horse Temple?

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this matter is inappropriate, and the White Horse Temple is full of high-ranking monks. Fu Yi ordered the monks of the White Horse Temple to return to the vulgar without finding out clearly, which is really unreasonable. ”

Someone immediately stood up and said, Fu Yi was not angry when he saw others accusing him, and said to people with a smile: "This official really hasn't investigated, the matter of the monk has been handed over to Chang'an Hou for management as early as the old year, and the official is also acting according to orders, as for whether Chang'an Hou has checked the official clearly, I don't know." ”

After speaking, he turned to Li Shimin and said: "Your Majesty, the Marquis of Chang'an also said that His Majesty authorized him, so naturally he is in charge, and now the temple servants should have gone to the White Horse Temple to post a notice and order them to return to the world." Hou Ye also said that if there are still monks in the White Horse Temple three days later, there will be no forgiveness for the killing, and he will set foot on the White Horse Temple. ”

The faces of the people present changed together, Cai Cong was really a person who would be revenged, when the monk of the White Horse Temple cursed him, he was still on the verge of life and death, and now he woke up for three days, and he had just recovered a little vitality, and he was anxious to kill people to vent his anger.

"Your Majesty, if you want to impeach the Marquis of Chang'an, how can you treat human life as if you were playing?" Li Gang, an upright old man, immediately came out and said, it doesn't matter if you force a monk to be vulgar, but it's not okay to fake public help and private carelessness for people's lives.

"Your Majesty, what Master Li said is reasonable, the Marquis of Chang'an is taking revenge for personal gain, there are so many monks in the White Horse Temple, is he going to bleed?"

Immediately, many people stood up and said, they are either firm believers or have money with the White Horse Temple, how can they watch the White Horse Temple being cleaned up by Cai Cong?

"Your Majesty, the ministers also think it's inappropriate, if they are ordered to return to the vulgar because the monks are not virtuous, it is a matter of course. But now the Marquis of Chang'an is just to take revenge on the monks of the White Horse Temple for cursing him, then it is against the law of the court, and he must not act like this. ”

Du Ruhui also stood up and said, Fu Yi didn't dare to refute this time, now the four bigwigs in the court are the eldest grandson Wuji, Du Ruhui, Li Jing, and Fang Xuanling, he doesn't dare to go against these four people.

Li Shimin didn't expect Cai Cong to be such a bastard, and he still put it on the table to say it, isn't this the truth? Now everyone is against him, so he has no choice but to do it!

And at this time, the errand officer of Honglu Temple who went to the White Horse Temple to post a notice was thrown out of the gate by a group of young and strong monks, and the notice was smashed on them by a monk, and there was a mouthful of spit on it.

Several people had blue noses and swollen faces, and they were limping when they walked, which was obviously a bad beating.

"This Buddha tells you, open your eyes wide to see what kind of place this is, we have heels, not those small temples that do not enter the stream. Do you know how many princes and nobles come to offer incense every day? Do you know how many big people put their money in our temples? Get lost! ”

The monk said proudly, he is not afraid of a little Honglu Siqing, how many big people are involved with them, and someone will naturally make decisions for them if something happens.

The people who put up the notices are only the lowest people, how dare they talk back, they can only cover their wounds and run away, hoping that their own adults can make decisions for themselves.

When they returned to Honglu Temple, Fu Yi had just returned from the next dynasty, and this time he not only lost three ferry plates, but he was also ridiculed when he went down to the court, and his face was still blue when he was angry.

As soon as several temple servants entered, they knelt in front of Fu Yi, held up the phlegm-stained notice, and cried and begged Fu Yi to make decisions for them. Although they are Qingshui Yamen, they are also people of the imperial court in the end, and they are so humiliated by a group of bald donkeys, how can they have the face to see people without revenge?

Fu Yi took the notice tremblingly, he was already furious, and said to a few people with anger in his eyes: "You get up, this official can't be the master of this matter, you go with the official to see the Marquis of Chang'an, and the Hou Ye will naturally call the shots!" ”

The group rode horses and soon came to the gate of Cai's mansion, Cai Cong heard that Fu Yi asked to see him, and wondered for a moment, this old boy should be happy to pack up the bald donkey now, what did he do when he came to him?

But he didn't think much about it, since everyone came, he would naturally know what was going on. Fu Yi walked in with a black face, and there were a few people with blue noses and swollen faces behind him, and those who didn't know thought that his subordinates were beaten by Houfu, and he came to Houfu to ask for an explanation.

"Xia Guan has seen Master Hou, Fu Yi is incompetent, and things are messed up." Fu Yi saluted Cai Cong, tears couldn't help but flow, a man in his forties, crying in front of Cai Cong, a child, was sad.

"Master Fu sit down quickly and say, why do you cry?" Cai Cong hurriedly said, the two of them are not superiors and subordinates, one is a civil official, and the other doesn't know what kind of official it is, if they are not both leading the matter of Buddhism, they can't be beaten with eight poles.

Fu Yi immediately told the matter of the court and the beating of his subordinates, Cai Cong looked at the disgusting notice and his face was extremely pale, but he still comforted Fu Yi and said: "Why should Master Fu be sad, Master Li and Du Xiang are just talking about things, this is their consistent style, why be sad?" ”

"The lower officials are not sad about this, the lower officials are worried, there are still so many people who believe in Buddhism, and the people are not more prevalent? is so prevalent, if the world is Li Tang's or Shakya's in the future? Emperor Jin is not far away! ”

Fu Yi said and cried again, Cai Cong squinted his eyes and smiled: "Don't worry, Master Fu, the scene you said will never happen." ”

"Xu Jie! Fang Yuan! ”

Cai Cong shouted out of the door, and the two immediately stood up to respond, as Cai Cong's personal guards, they would never be far away from Cai Cong.

"Pass my military order, gather the guards in the house, and then transfer 300 people from the prince's left guard, and send them to the White Horse Temple with the Hou soldiers."

After Cai Cong's words were finished, Xu Jie and the others left immediately, Fu Yi immediately panicked, and said to Cai Cong: "Master Hou, don't be, Your Majesty didn't agree, you will make a big mess if you mess around like this." ”

"Chaos? Then let him mess up enough, Ben Hou has already asked His Majesty for a holy decree. If you are not afraid, go with Benhou, if you are afraid of blood, then go back to Honglu Temple first! Cai Cong said hesitantly, his eyes were full of killing intent, did this group of bald donkeys really think that no one dared to touch them?

Listening to the sound of drums in the waiting house, Fu Yi sat on the chair and had mixed feelings in his heart, it was a big crime to transfer troops privately, but when he saw the faces of those officials today, if he left like this, he would look down on himself.
